Wisconsin
This state is located in the north central United States,
and is bordered by Lake Superior and Lake Michigan. Wisconsin
received its name from the Wisconsin River, which is derived
from the French word “Ojibwa”, meaning gathering
of the waters. It is customarily known as the Badger State
because the miners who wee among the first settlers in the
region lived in mine shafts, or dug their homes out of the
hillside and lived underground as badgers do.
Wisconsin entered the Union in 1848 as the 30th state. It
is one of the leading states in agriculture, and is especially
noted for its cheese production. The greater part of the state
is composed of rolling plains that yield productive crops
and fodder for the dairy industry. Wisconsin also has substantial
heavy industry, centered around Milwaukee and nearby cities
along the shore of Lake Michigan.
The rivers of Wisconsin drain into either the Mississippi
River system, which flows southward into the Gulf of Mexico,
or into the Great Lakes – St. Lawrence system, which
flows eastward into the Atlantic Ocean. The Mississippi is
the only river in Wisconsin navigable by commercial vessels,
and it forms part of the border and all of the Iowa state
line. This state has a humid continental climate, with long,
cold winters throughout the state. Summers are short and fairly
hot, especially in southern Wisconsin. The waters of the lakes
modify the climate of the coastal areas, and usually create
a milder winter and cooler summer than the interior section
of the state. Rainfall is generally the heaviest during the
spring and summer, with a short growing season for agriculture
products.
There are many winter festivals held on lakes, frozen creeks,
forests or right in the heart of town. Families looking for
fun-filled winter getaways will find plenty in Wisconsin to
please all ages. From ice fishing to eagle watching, Wisconsin
becomes a cold-weather playground during the winter. Wisconsin
Dells is famous for indoor and outdoor waterparks, and some
of these are the largest in the world.
